Anyone else want to join my test? I just need one more person. I might have to NPC the opponent if no-one else wants to join.

[darkpaladin109]

Sure, I can be your second test subject Fniff.

[Fniff]

Awesome. I'll get writing on a post, then. Thanks a lot, Paladin!

[Fniff]

###Brutality Test###
Turn 0

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

First, initiative is rolled. Highest number gets first turn, lowest number gets last turn, etc. Equal numbers get rerolled. Then the fight begins. Combat takes place in turns, which represent 10 seconds of time.

Attacking
Attacking is hurting the opponent. This naturally gets you closer to killing the twat but has the chance of putting yourself in danger.
Major Failure: Leave self in the open or gun jams, giving opponent +1 in next turn.
Minor/Bad Failure: You miss.
Minor Success: The attack hits, doing half damage. Any .5s in the number are fleshwounds or glancing attacks.
Good Success: The attack hits, doing regular damage.
Major Success: The attack hits, doing double damage.

When attack hits, roll random limb. A limb can have three states: Normal (Full health), Damaged (Half), and Broken (Empty).
1: Head. 2 health. When damaged, target is disorientated giving -1 to all tasks until healed. When broken, target is killed.
2/3: Left and Right Arm. 4 health each. When damaged, any tasks requiring more then one arm (or any hands if both are damaged) get a -2. When broken, tasks requiring more then one hand cannot be done due to horrible pain.
4/5: Chest and Ribs. 3 health each. When damaged, target loses a turn to throw up and due to pain gets -1 to tasks until damage is healed. When broken, target is killed.
6/7 Left and right legs. Has 4 health each. When damaged, target gets -1 to agility based tasks. When destroyed, target cannot walk until healed.

If the strength of the weapon exceeds the health of the limb, the limb is chopped off. This means that the wound is permanent and cannot be healed.

Evasion
Evasion is dodging and avoiding attacks. This impedes the attacker and keeps you from being hurt, but you cannot do anything else.
Major Failure: Fails to evade, and you tire yourself out so you get a -1 to whatever your next action is.
Minor/Bad Failure: Fails to evade.
Minor Success: Opponent gets -1 to attack.
Good Success: Opponent gets -2 to attack.
Major Success: Opponent gets -3 to attack and does half damage if he does land a hit.

Absconding
Absconding is avoiding the fight by hiding or running away. This gets you out of the fight, but could require some time to activate.

To abscond, you specifically say you're going to do so. The opponent loses track of you and cannot attack you. When absconding, you must increase escape/fool the opponent into thinking you've left. This is represented by a Distance Meter, which goes up to 20 and starts at 0. When you reach 20, you have escaped the fight. If it goes below 1, absconding is automatically ended. Every turn, you must roll a 1d20 to increase the distance between you and your opponent.
Major Failure: Your enemy spots you and gets to attack you again. Absconding is ended.
Bad Failure: The enemy starts catching up to you, lowering the Distance Meter by 3.
Minor Failure: The enemy gets an idea of where you are, lowering the Distance Meter by 1.
Minor Success: You can't get further away, but you're keeping ahead of the enemy.
Good Success: You manage to get a fair distance away, increasing the Distance Meter by 1.
Major Success: You manage to get quite far away, increasing the Distance Meter by 3.

For people who are chasing an absconding person, they can roll to detect the absconding person. If the roll they make is above the Absconding person's Distance Meter, they successfully detect the person.

Spoiler: Weaponry (click to show/hide)

A weapon has five stats.
Strength: How much damage it does upon impact.
Handling: How much of a modifier it gives to the roll.
Damage: What sort of damage it does.
Type: Whether it is ranged (Uses ammo and can fire into the distance) or melee (Effective only at close range).
Ammo (Ranged Only): How many times it can be used before it runs out of ammo.

The stats for just using your fists and feet are as follows.
Strength: 1.
Handling: 0
Damage: Bashing.
Type: Melee

Melee Weapons
Melee weapons are weapons that hurt people by hitting them with it. They are used for short distance engagements. Examples of these are baseball bats, nightsticks, swords, and screwdrivers. To use a melee weapon, the person must be at least a Fair Distance away. If they are further then this, then the melee weapon cannot be used. It can be thrown, however, but this will give a -2 to the roll.

Ranged Weapons
Ranged weapons that hurt people from a distance. They are used for long-range engagements. Examples of these are rifles, grenades, bows, and slingshots. A firearm can be used at any range: however, up close it will suffer a drawback unless it is a specific type of weapon like a shotgun or a pistol, in which case it will most likely have a drawback at far distances. When used as a melee weapon, their damage is halved.

Damage types are as follows.

Bash
Bash is used by clubs, guns using rubber bullets, and warhammers, and is the baseline for damage. Causes a lot of pain, and you can roll to knock someone unconscious with it. Minor failure means it is just considered a regular attack, bad failure means you miss, and major failure means you leave yourself wide open. Minor success means you daze them giving them a -1 for 1d10 turns, good success means you knock them out for 1d10 turns, and major success means you knock them out for 1d10 minutes.

Bleed
Bleed is used by knives, guns, and bows. On a major success, causes bleeding. When bleeding, you lose one point of health a turn to your heart, which has 4 health. If it runs out, you die. Every turn after the initial attack you roll to stop bleeding: a failure means you don't, a success means you do.

Fire
Fire is used by flamethrowers, flaming swords, and molotov cocktails. On a successful attack, a random limb bursts into flame. Every turn it loses one health and every turn a roll is made. If the roll fails, the fire spreads to another limb, if the roll succeeds it stays where it is. You can attempt to put out the fire every turn, but this wastes an action.

Poison
Poison is used by anthrax, radiation, and cyanide. Every turn that you are in a poisonous area, you will take one damage to your lungs, which have two health. When they run out, you die. Poison damage is stopped by wearing gasmasks and HAZMAT suits.

Darkpaladin and Digital Hellhound, choose your weapon. You can only choose one.

Operation Blue

"They've got keen hearing, that's for sure. Let's see how you'll react to this."
He won't hear this coming.

Attack: Raider #4

[Digital Hellhound]

Keep in mind you have two Actions, so you could Attack him twice if you wanted. Or Attack and then hide, that'd confuse him. But anyway, if you won't edit I'll assume it's two Attacks.

Fniff, I'll take the Trench Knife.

Turn 2

[2] The sniper hesitates, on her hill, spending some more time to ensure she's got a clear shot. [2] No, no. Still no. Either she struggles with the moral weight of attacking and killing another person or lack of confidence in her own skills, or perhaps she's afraid of ruining what the others are planning, or she's unable to comprehend the act of pulling the trigger - in any case, the sniper refuses to fire.

The Commando, down below, hatches a plan to get behind one of the raiders. They're all approaching, [4] but in an uneven line, and the ruins offer useful cover for moving unseen. Nobody would miss one who the others can't see, right? Of course, the fourth raider is still looking their way, but the commando is confident he can reach one of the raiders where the sniper can't see.

[2+1=3] He starts off well, barely making a sound as he creeps through the fallen stone and rubble. Nearby, the Champion keeps an overwatch, aiming his bulky Ripper Gun down towards the raiders.

The Commando is not as stealthy as he hopes, however. He moves in close to the second raider - but his companions happen to glance to their right just then, and spot the strange man crouching behind a bit of wall.

[5+1=6] 'What the hell...' goes the chief. 'Take him out!'

No mercy. Before the raiders can move, the Champion springs into action - [1+1=2][3+1=4] after a moment's indecision. His Ripper Gun booms to life, [Dodges:6+2/4+2/5+2] and proves utterly uncontrollable at this range. His volley of heavy shell-like bullets slams into the ruins around the raiders and scatters them into movement - serving the purpose of getting their attentions off the Commando, atleast.

[4+1=5][4][5] The raiders - save the marksman - leap into cover immediately, using the same terrain that hid the Commando for their own benefit. [4+1=5] The chief opens up with his rifle immediately, [Dodges:1,4] and a rifle shot impacts squarely against the Champion's helm. If nothing else, the raider can shoot. [Damage:3*2=6-3=3] The shot hits a part of the plating critical enough to damage it, it seems.

[2] The marksman stands in place, gauging a shot, but his inexperience shines through, the sudden exchange of gunfire freezing him in place.

As you might notice, the three raiders in Cover are still vulnerable to Tiruin. If only she could learn to pull the damn trigger. Both sides in this struggle have proven only incompetent so far, I have to say.

[Tiruin]

((I love that DH. xD Oh gods. Time to play this straight.))

Operation Blue

Ok, maybe he's a coward--he isn't shooting, that's as much. Maybe I can just shift my sights towards their leader. Seems better. An Aegis is still vulnerable to my rifle and..and I guess this is the better choice. I can't kill a man who hasn't fired at my allies yet!

..That's against all I've been taught. He's young and..and I hope they subdue him instead!

> Readjust sights and target the Leader, aim for vitals!

> Attack the Leader!

[Persus13]

Use Kinetic Driver on the Leader. Open fire on the Marksman

[darkpaladin109]

Move towards the enemy while in cover. When I get closer, start shooting them.

Turn 3

[3] The sniper up on her hill decides to act. She gets the chief in her sights, [Dodge:6-1+1] and fires. The Rifle makes a high-pitched whining sound and something terribly sharp and silvery lashes out of the barrel. To her dismay, she sees the impact on a wall near the raider instead, ancient stone exploding outwards, and [5] immediately adjusts her aim. [Dodge:3] Her second shot finds its mark, slamming into the Chief's shoulder - [Damage:5/2=3-4=0] but instead of punching through the Aegis around him, it deflects off something invisible with a ripple of air.

At the same time, the psychic rises to throw a lance of sheer telekinetic energy at the raider. It homes in on the chief, impacting on his cover with a crash of rubble. [Damage:5+3=8] The thick cover plating is punched inwards, but does not quite break. The chief seems startled by the two-front attack on him, but does not move. The commando leaves him to the others and focuses on the unprotected marksman instead, [3+1=4] opening fire with his SMG. [Dodge:3-1=2/3-1=2/3-1=2/6-1=5/2-1=1/5-1=4] The VALKYRIE hisses, unleashing a compact volley at the stationary man, [Damage:1+1-2=0/1+1-2=0/1+1-2=0/1*2=2+1-2=1] and the Commando sees most of the shots ricochet harmlessly from his scrap armor. He wonders what cruel god would give him such an useless weapon.

[4+1=5] Meanwhile the third member of the team advances, letting the others hog the attention. He moves deftly up the battlefield to come into close quarters with the raiders, [6+1=6] and starts firing at the same time at the nearest target, the second raider. [Dodges:1+1-1+2+1=4, hits Cover/6/5] Miraculously, the assault weapon fires the right way for once, one of the shots impacting on a raider's cover. [Damage:2+5=7] Huge chunks fall off from the impact, leaving the bit of ruin dangerously fragile.

[2+1=3] The raider chief, still wary, aims another burst down at the champion. [Dodges:1-1+1=1/5-1+1=5] One shot hits, coming in right at the Paladin's armoured throat and [Damage:3*2=6-3=3] causing further damage. The sniper spots him sling the rifle and shift to the machete-like blade on his belt behind his cover immediately after.

[5][3] The two other raiders fire as well, both at [2] the champion. [Dodges:2-1+1=2/2-1+1=2][Dodges:1-1+1=1/6-1+1=6] Three shots hit, [Damages:3-3=0/3-3=0][Damage:3*2=6-3=3], but the two first bounce off the heavy armor.

[2] The marksman surveys the situation still without firing, locked in place. Perhaps he, too, is debating some moral quandary in his mind.

I gave the Champion a -1 Moving penalty to hit because I am a cruel, cruel god. Although, the same modifier granted him +1 to Dodge against the chief and the rest, so.

Blast the raider chief with my sub-machine gun. If he comes aproaches meele range, switch to my flaming sword.

Great, just what I needed.
